Change from Win 7 32 bit to 64 bit

I plan to change my OS from win 7 pro 32 bit into win 7 pro 64 bit
is it possible to use the same product key if I install it to the same computer?

Yes, you can use the same key on 64bit. You need to re-activate the Win 7, do it via the IVR.

Interactive Voice Response, by telephone.

In any case, just try activating online first. Only if it doesn't work, then proceed by telephone.
